The Electoral Commission (EC) has justified the re-collation of the parliamentary results for some of the parliamentary elections.
The EC, in a statement, explained that re-collation after elections was not new and provided some instances in previous elections to justify its decision to recollate the results of some nine constituencies.
The EC stated that under former EC Chair Afari Gyan, the EC re-collated and overturned parliamentary results for the Pru constituency and declared the NDC candidate as MP-elect.
It also cited the 1998 example during the district-level elections in the Dompoase Kokwaado Electoral Area in the KEEA District, where the EC under Afari Gyan overturned an earlier declaration and went on to declare the right candidate as the winner.
